Hi Don,

What I was saying is that I need to discuss the matter of meta data.
As I am playing of implementing or suggesting particular meta data
be in the master format.

What is important though is if you want meta data it should be in the master format
and not in some other file or data base.  Naturally, there are ways to keep things hooked up,
but it would complicate if there are changes to the meta data and has to be aggregated to all
those versions and decide which it should be connected to!

As to collecting it. That is a different matter and depends on the data you want.

regards
Keith.

"Metadata" is a loaded word in this context. In particular, DP has it's own
legacy set of definitions.

It's worth taking the time to explain what you think the metadata is in
pretty complete and precise terms, lest you be misunderstood and
differing assumptions be made particularly about the difficulty of
collecting it.

Hi Lee,

Well, I would go further and say that the meta data should be
part of the master format.

Something I should put into ANA.

Thanx
